Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”):
Denver Basic Income Project
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
The Denver Basic Income Project (DBIP) is a local pilot of basic income through philanthropic support that will be evaluated by the University of Denver. It is a 24-month program providing unconditional cash transfers to unhoused people living in Denver. The aims of the program are to test the feasibility and impact of basic income for unhoused people. The program will be deemed a success if, after the 12-month period, people who are unhoused in Denver and receive cash transfers totaling $12,000 over the period are more securely housed and are experiencing improved outcomes compared to people who are unhoused and received a nominal cash transfer. Basic income promotes autonomous decision making and allows recipients the ability to afford housing and basic necessities. Additionally, individuals must be connected to participating service providers to participate.
